/**
* Groups values according to an indicator function and outputs results as object values.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   We need to cache the object value to prevent the edge case where, during the invocation of the indicator function, the value at key `k` is swapped for some other value. For some, that might be a feature; here, we take the stance that one should be less clever.
*
* @private
* @param {(Object|Array|TypedArray)} obj - input object
* @param {Options} opts - function options
* @param {*} [opts.thisArg] - execution context
* @param {Function} indicator - indicator function indicating which group an element in the input object belongs to
* @returns {Object} results
*
* @example
* function indicator( v ) {
*     return v[ 0 ];
* }
* var obj = {
*     'a': 'beep',
*     'b': 'boop',
*     'c': 'foo',
*     'd': 'bar'
* };
* var out = groupOwn( obj, {}, indicator );
* // e.g., returns { 'b': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], 'f': [ 'foo' ] }
